Fox News And Jerome Corsi, Living In The Past

In terms of affecting the race, in terms of gumming up the works for the Obama campaign, The Obama Nation, has so far been a bust. What happened? How did a sure-fire follow-up hit turn into such a trouble-plagued production? And why isn't Fox News' Swift Boat formula working?

Simple. Both Corsi and the Fox News team are living in the past and failed to realize how dramatically the media landscape has shifted since the shady Swift Boat accusers were able to deftly use the media to spread their lies. The progressive movement has spent the last four years bulking up its infrastructure, and specifically readying itself to respond to media-driven attacks from the right. Also, Fox News' competitors, seeing the channel's once-dominant ratings slip away, realize they no longer have to take their cues from the Fox News lead.

Corsi has a troubled past. See the long article in yesterday's Boston Globe for details:

Also, the book was commissioned by Mary Matalin, well-known high-level Republican operative. So the book had Republican fingerprints all over it.

adding the former, ousted from Office shamed Speaker of the House...Newt.
the much hated and despised man, under a current contempt of Congress charge...the Karl
the former unemployed Republican Senators and Congressmen whose only income is from Fox...
the Santorum and the Kaasch, and the fomer news reporters who were fired from real news agencies...

Fox can pick 'em.

I know that Fox is tabloid trash but I still watch it in 2 minute intervals when I need a laugh.
